CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The Move on Foot to Unite the Busi-
ness Interests Of All Salt
Lakers.
A Call for q Mass Meeting Responded
to Heartily on Every Hand and
by All Glasses.
The POliticO- Religious Ratchet to be
Buried Beneath Business Enter
prise and Union.

The plan on foot for the organization oil
Chamber of Commerce and Board Of
Trade which was first made public
through the columns of THE DEMOCRAT
few days ago, has taken a definite
shape and from present indications there
will be but few, if any, business men OF
this city who will not go into the enter
prise heart and soul.
The gentlemen who conceived the
idea have been working assiduously for
several days and this morning the first
material steps were taken. The mode
adopted was the circulation of the docu-
ment copied below, which in the hands
of Mr.. II. G. Wallace received the sigma
lures below in a three hours canvass.
Mr.. Wallace says that the response
everywhere was ready and earnest, and
that so far no one has refused to endorse
the movement.
THE RATCHET BURIED.
AS will be seen by the document itself,
the question of politics and religion are
to be kept entirely out of sight, and every
business man in the city is invited to
take part in the organization and subse-
quent support of the enterprise. The
association will be entirely independent
of party or faction for support and is
therefore in position to offer member
ship to all with good will.
The move is fairly started and the gen.
tlemen who inaugurated it give every
assurance that it will be a success.
The canvas has just begun and it must
be remembered that the list given below
is by no means complete. New names
will be published in to-morrow's issue in
time for which the list will be COM
pleted.
THE PETITION.
SALT LAKE CRY, Utah, April l, 1887.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Salt Lake
City, respectfully request the business men
of said city and all interested: in its future
welfare and prosperity, regardless of relig-
ious or political opinion, to meet in the court
room of the Wasatch building on Saturday
evening at 8 o'clock, to organize Chamber
of Commerce and Board of Trade:

Arthur Wins.

The match game of billiards at the
Walker House last evening was a one
sided affair. Josh Arthur made his 500
counts while JOSH Davis made but 225.
While Davis, like Arthur, had the judg-
ment to make some very difficult shots,
he did not show the same tact in keeping
the balls neighborly.
The score was as follows: Arthur
Sixty-three innings, 500 counts; average,
Z 1858. Davis-Sixty-three innings, 225
counts; average, 1868.

PROF. BENNER's RECEPTION
The Enjoyable Time Had BY All
Present.


The reception given Prof. Benner last
evening by the teachers and scholars of
Hammond Hall, was most sociable and
informal affair. A large number of Prof.
Benner's friends accepted invitations to
be present. Prof. Metcalf was made the
welcoming spokesman. To his remarks
Prof. Benner responded, giving a few
words in relation to his visit East, the
friends he met and his happiness to find
on his return, that the school work had
gone on so creditably. The success of
the music by Prof. Radcliff and the
speeches of Prof.'s Benner and Metcalf
was not entirely due to their own merits.
The ladies had previously awakened the
souls of the guests by furnishing lunch
erial refreshments to their hearts.

which one he wanted, or else he wanted
both, and as he had nothing to say in de-
Gliding the matter, the fight was given to

While the racket was going on a

ARRIVAL AND CLOSING OF MAILS

UNITED STATES PosToFFICE,
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, March %, 1887. !
National Republican., 1887-05-10

Deducting the payment made the last
year 1t will be seen that the fourth per-
iod commences with an Indebtedness Of
$10,322, 200, which is within $322, 900 Of the
amount estimated by "Justice," and which,
without increasing the taxes or adding to
the debt fund, would be paid off in ten
years.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, has accepted
the rate Of increase in Virginia's wealth
suggested by "Justice." 1t believes that
his estimate will be fully verified If there is
an equitable adjustment Of the state's debt
honestly carried into effect, thus enabling
the state to increase its debt fund in the
manner suggested without increasing the
present rate of taxation.
AS said previously, the NATIONAL Re-
PUBLICAN is not considering party advant-
ages. The Democratic legislature deliber-
ately left all Republicans off the committee
which 1t appointed to meet the committee
representing the creditors, when all parties
should have been represented on that COM
mittee to secure unanimity of action.
The committee has failed to do or suggest
any method Of adjustment satisfactory to
any party, either the creditors or the people
of the state. We submit a plan which 1t is
believed would be satisfactory to all parties,
and which the state can, without any
trouble, and without additional taxation,
carry to a successful conclusion.
Virginians should remember what Wash
ington said, and what the nation founded by
him without counting the cost has abided by,
"Cherish public credit" With its credit
restored, Virginia would enter upon the
pathway of progress, taking such rapid
strides that the debt, which is now 30 great
bugbear, would be soon considered as q
triAe.
OF the subject suggested in the last par
agraph in the article OF "JustiOe" we shall
have more to say hereafter. Now we only
cay to Virginia, "Cherish public credit"

This tablo shows, that with the bonds
selling at 60 per cent. of their face value,
$4504, 800 would be retired in the first five
years, leaving the debt, in round numbers,
at the beginning of the second period
when the interest is raised to . per cent,
at 0,500,000. OF course it is understood
that II the bonds cannot be purchased the
state can invest in other securities that
will prevent any loss Of interest.
Virginia, certainly in these five years,
with low rate of taxation, with Its state
debt settled upon fair basis and being
gradually paid, would increase its taxable
values $lo0,000,000, and If, as "Justce"
suggests, the money received from this in
creased valuation, 100000 each year, be
added to the debt fund, the table for the
second five years would be as follows, as
suming that the bonds can be purchased at
so cents on the dollar:

An Ably Edited journal.

The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN of Washing
ton, d. c., is one of the best edited papers
In the country. Its articles advocating a
division Of the colored vote In the south
and political economists the world over.
We would like to copy largely from one
article that we particularly admire, but
have only room for the following words
OF sound craftsmanship
"The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, is not mis-.
taken in asserting that It Is sound policy
for the whole country that the color line
and race prejudice should be abolished, and
that men should divide politically upon
economic questions, each man conscien-
tlously casting an honest ballot, uninflu-
enced by bribery, fraud, or force"

II the law Is suspended on these routes II
will be difficult for the commission to show
why 1t should not be done for all routes
when there is a competitive line either by
rail or water, and that this would virtually
defeat the intention Of Mr.. Regan in secur-
ing the adoption Of the long and short haul
clause.
The Bulletin then discusses the late ex-
pressons of the Texas statesman and says;
MIR. Reagan declared, in his recent letter,
that Congress would surely resort to more
vigorous legislation II the railroads should
succeed in so "befooing the commission" as
TO get the short haul clause suspended. For
one thing, he thought Congress would abolish
the commission entirely, leaving the iron re-
striction of the law to govern all the railroads
alike. II some of them should be ruined, aud
some sections and industries terribly pros
troted by that operation, Mr.. Reagan wonld
think 1t sufficient to say that the monopo!lsts
brought II all on themselves by "befooling the
commission" II is tolerably evident, too
that the western aud southern people will
never entirely comprehend the supreme silli-
ness of the policy which Mr.. Reagan advo-
Gates, and particularly its especial injury to
theH iutefee's US piouuCcts, uulll ~ nus uceh
tested by experience and illustrated to their
comprehension by personal suffering.
All OF which is very true. 1t would be
better to enforce the law and let the people
see its effect. The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
when the bill was under discussion clearly
demonstrated the ruin that would result
from its passage and enforcement, and 1t
believes, with Gen. Grant, that the best way
to get rid OF bad law Is to enforce 1t.

Enforce the Law,

The New York Commercial Bulletin,
speaking Of the effect of the rumored con.
solldatlon OF the Vanderbilt roads with the
Canadian Pacific, shows the manner in
which, by that combination, the consoll.
dated lines would control all the trans con.
tinental traffic, could reach Chicago, Mil
waukee, and most of the other great ship
ping points of the northwest from stations
on the Canadian Pacific without passing, In
any instance, through more than one state.
and thus get rid OF theinterstate law, and says
II this is done the commission would have
to permanently set aside the long and short
haul clause for the trans-contlnental and
through lines, or the trade would all be
transferred TO the Canadian line.
The Bulletin then very truthfully says,
